for their beating hearts, their longing
souls, she does not trouble herself at
all; all that she wants is the offer OF
their devotion-their scalps to hang
at her belt, so to speak, that all the
world may see and count. She is oy
no means a sentimental girl, for she
has no emotions unless we call her de-
sire and determination for conquest an
emotion. She does not think OF
others. There are girls who love
physical exercise for itself; they will
ride over rough country, they will row
against the tide, they will shoot and
play tennis in the torid zone, they
skate and toboggan, they will walk
before breakfast, and swim for the mere
love of it, not to show pretty COS
tune, a neat and shapely foot, a dar-
ing spirit, or skill. But the belle, as
usual thing, cares for none OF these
employments unless they accentuate
her charms, unless they add to her
laurels. If shooting and dancing and
rowing parties were all composed of
the feminine element, the belle would
none OF them. She cares nothing for
walking without an escort; even talk
ing, that exercise in which she is sup
posed to excel, bores her if there are
no men to listen. She has a contempt
for the feminine intellect; but sur
round her with admirers, and she is
in her element--she sparkles and
flashes if there is any bril- fancy in her.
There is no trouble she is not willing
to take in order to win; she will dance
in midsummer, although she hates it;
she will yacht, even at the risk Of
nausea; she will picnic, although
she trembles before spiders and
snakes. She loves the reputation of
belle, and if America does not furni-h
her wide enough field, she goes to
Europe or upon the stage. If she is
one among u large family, not content
with possessing the lions sha of
personal attraction she receives and
accepts without demur the best of
everything in the way of adjournment.
She is expected to make the great
match of the family, but it is more OF
ten the belle who becomes the oil
maid than her sister, who if ready to
love, and is not always reaching after
match that shall be brilliant in
everything but love. The old bel
still believes in her power to fascinate
she cannot resign her kingdom grace
fully; conquering hearts has become
such habit with her that she cannot
live without the fond delusion that her
charms are as fatal as ever Har-
per's Bazaar.

TWENTY SIXTH ANNIVERSARY.
Pleasant Reunion OF the Survivors
or the old First.

The association composed of the sur
yiyors of the old First Virginia regi-
mcnt celebrated at Blenner's Park yes
terday their twenty-sixth anniversary,
or rather the anniversary OF the battle
of Bull Run. Their reunions have taken
place on this day since 1866.
The survivors began to assemble
about 10 o'clock, aud when lunch was
announced (at l2) there were present
between forty.fye and fifty OF the vete-
rams and quite number OF their friends.
Lunch lasted an hour, and after an in
term of two and half hours there
was served such dinner as only old
war cooks know how to prepare.
Liquid refreshments, it is useless to
say, were dispensed with liberal hand.
The day was spent in a do-as-you-
please manner-mostly in eating, drink
ing, and lounging around in the shade.
There was no programme, and all for
mality was laid aside. No speeches
were made. About nightiall the party
wendell their way homeward, having
spent delightful day. The president
OF the association is Colonel William
II. Palmer. Messrs. Aylett q. Wood
son, James Il. Phillips, and A. Jeif.
Vaughan constituted the committee OF
ARRANGEMENTS.

HANGED ON A BRIDGE.
A Murderer Taken from Jail ana
Lyncbcd.

CHICAGO, July ia Times special
from Nelson, Neb., says: A farmer
named Coonrad, who was being held
Tor the murder on Thursday last OF an
other farmer named Henry Sallen, was
taken out by one hundred men yester-
day and hanged on a bridge near the
city. Sallen had just sold load of hogs
for $50, and Coonrad saw him draw the
money. He asked Sallen if he could ride
out home with him. Sallen consented,
and the two men left together. Two
hours later Sallen's body was found
living by the roadside about two miles
west of the town. Suspicion at once
fell on Coonrad. The sheriff, accom-
panied by a number of citizens, went
to bis house, where they found him in
a clean suit of clothes, while at the
back of the house his wife was dis
covered washing blood out of shirt.
A coroner's jury rendered verdict to
the effect that Coonrad had died at the
hands of parties to the jury unknown.
Mrs. Sallen, who was in delicate con-
dition at the time of her husbands
murder, has died from the effects of the
shock.

4 Catholic bishop Murdered.
fBv telegraph TO the Dispatch.]

ny telegraph 10 the DiSpaTh.J
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1S.-lntorma-
ton was received to day from Ouna-
laski that Bishop Seghers, a Catholic
missionary, was murdered by his com
panion one night in November last.
HE scene of the tragedy was on the
banks of the Yokonee river, about five
hundred miles from its mouth and
fully sixty miles from any habitation.
The murderer is Frank Fuller, ayoung
man from Portland, Oregon, who ac-
eompanied the Bishop as a companion
and servant. He gave himself up. No
cause for the deed is given. The
Bishop was formerly of Baltimore, Md,
and prior to being named as Bishop Of
Alaska was Archbishop of Oregon and
Washington Territory. He left for
Alaska last summer to perform mis-
slonary work among the Indians, but
was allowed by the Papal See to retain
his honorary title as Archbishop.

.uInhuman wretch.

CHICAGO, July 19.-The Tmes's Lit
tie Rock lark special says: News OF
a most inhuman murder comes from
Riverside, Ark. 1t seems that man
living near that place had step-son,
five years old, whom he greatly dis
liked. he was known to treat the boy
most cruelty, beating him in a terrible
manner, once putting one of the little
fellows eyes out while whipping him.
A few days ago he beat the child in a
horrible manner; then tied him by the
wrists to a stake in the hot sun, without
food or water, till he died. Just how
lorg the child was there is not known,
but the cords at the wrists had cut into
the flesh and the wounds were filed
with worms. The fiend, finding his
victim was dead, armed himself and
took to the woods. The child's mother
seems Indifferent over the affair.
